The 2015/16 season of the Slovakia Cup will be held on six dates between October and March at the Hudy Racing Arena in Trencin, Slovakia.

Round 4 of Infinity Grand Prix was held at the JITC Senayan Track, Jakarta with a total of 50 racers attending in four nitro on-road classes including 1/8th Open and 1/10th 200mm Touring. Bowie Ginting would score a late 26 laps TQ run after some severe problems to take the overall TQ in front of Trin Tanongsakchaikul with 25 laps. Five seconds behind Trin, Adrian Sutanto would line up in third. The 200mm class final would start pretty late that day when the track’s traction was at its highest. Right from the beginning Bowie was able to open a gap on the field while Trin ran into trouble due to traction rolling which ultimately resulted in a chunked tyre. Things got even worse for him as during the pitstop for tyres his car’s engine suffered a flame out which gave Bowie even more room to breath up front. At the end of the final Bowie took the win with a 6 laps margin from Trin, while Fayakhun Andriadi rounded out the top 3 result.
